Upcoming Reading, 9/2/2014

Now that I have started the final volume of the Churchill biography, The Last Lion, I am starting to think about what to read next. The three volumes amount to something well over 2,000 pages of detailed history, and I think I can use a little break from that. So here is what is on my upcoming reading list, once I finish this final volume1.

Coming Home by Jack McDevitt, the newest Alex and Chase novel, which Jack was kind enough to send me an early copy (the book doesn’t come out until early November).

Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. I thought The Shining Girls was brilliant and I’ve looked forward to Lauren’s next book ever since.

Reading I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes right now (about 1/3 through). It actually has a similar voice and tone to Killing Floor (1st person POV) and so far is AWESOME. Possibly the best book I’ve read in the last 2 years, assuming Mr. Hayes can keep up the good work for the remainder of the book.
